Just love the Bordeaux blend. Cab, cab franc, Merlot, petite Verdot. Jam on.

Oct 5th, 2018I know '11 was an off year in Napa, but I fully believe supreme talent is always evident, and this wine is an excellent example. If I wouldn't of seen the black purple color and legs that never ended, I would have guessed Zin based off the smell. This juice is rich, but not over bearing. Smelt of blackberry pie, vanilla, crushed cherries. Tasted like a perfect medley of blueberries and blackberries and had very nice structure to it. For $40'ish/bottle, yes please.

1 person found it helpfulAug 22nd, 2016Alpha Omega II red blend from Napa Valley, 2013 vintage.
The nose is much different from other vintages I've had of this wine. It has an almost iron-rich blood note with cardamom standing out amongst the baking spices. The palate shows off the velvet luxury of Napa well, highlighting vanillin and red fruit. Always an exceptional wine for the price. Always.

Nov 23rd, 20162013 alpha omega- smells of cherries, a little sharp- definitely more bright than the opus. Just the right amount of fruit but not bold enough. Cherries flavor as well. 9.0 $35
